Remembering Rajesh Khanna on his death anniversary

Thanks for posting about my favorite  Actor Rajesh Khanna. Many of the things connected with Rajesh Khanna given in the link are not known to me. I had seen most of his movies like Aradhana, Anand , Kati patang. All his movies  gave hit songs. Hrishikesh Mukherjee, SD and RD Burmans together made  most successful movies.

Rajesh Khanna was a great stylish actor of lovable mannerisms whom the audience's not only adored but saw in him a phenomenon worth  adoring.

Yesterday I watched Rajesh Khann's Avtar, beautiful movie.

Rajesh Khanna's acting talents should be seen in Masterji.

If we look back at Rajesh Khanna's career, we can see that a few people played an important role in his popularity . Shakti samantha who gave him some wonderful films including his first major hit in Aradhana followed by Amar Prem and other film makers like Om Prakash ,Raj Khosla BR Chopra and others and not forgetting singer Kishore Kumar and R D Burman who composed music for many of his hit films.

Rajesh Khanna was endowed with superb acting talents. Besides Dushnan, all his movies like Amar Prem, Kati Patang, Aradhana speak loudly about his acting talents.

 

Rajesh Khanna was an ever green star, and in his time (80's - 90's) his most of movies become super hit because of his acting. I Salute him for his efforts in Bollywood.

I recently saw Rajesh Khanna's first film Raaz made in the late sixties where he acted with another newcomer Babita. After that he acted in several films like Aakhri Khat, Bahron ke sapne , Aurat etc . But it was Ittefaq and Aradhana that gave him stardom and fame.

I remember the songs of Raaz, the maiden movie of both Rajesh Khanna and Babita.

Akela hain Chale Aao still rings in my ears.

I don't think Rajesh Khanna's ever played a negative role in any of his films. He has played quite a few double roles..

On second thoughts he did play a negative role in one if his earlier films Sacha Jhoota

Rajesh Khanna plays a doual Tolew in Sacha Jhoota.. Kalyanji Anandfji set the musical score. Directed by Manmohan Desai.

Rajesh Khanna brought in Salim Javed into films by asking the producers of his film Haathi mera Saathi to give them a break as screen script writers since they were struggling those days . Once the film became successful, their career was made.

Salim Javed team became famous with Haathi Mere Saathi. The story was written by Chinnappa Devar, a wrestler. Lakshmikant- Pyerelal scored lilting music. 'Chal Chal mere Saathi was a big hit. I don't know The fact that Rajesh Khanna's role was there in giving a break to Salim Javed team.

It is new news for me. I saw Hathi Mere Sathi, but I don't know that is written by Salim Javed. Indeed this film was produced by a South India banner, Dever Films.

Haathi Mere Saathi was produced by Chinnappa Devar. from Tamil Nadu.It was the biggest hit of 1971.

 

 

I have not seem many of his movies but I really liked him in Anand and Amar Prem. He was a brilliant actor.

All most all movies of  Rajesh Khanna were successful at the Box office. And most of his movies have become immensely popular for their music compositions. Greats like, SD Burman, RD Burman composed musical score for his movies. ' Mere sapnon Ki Rani, from Aradhana,  Chingari Koi Bhadke from Amar Prem and many melodies will remain forever in the hearts of the Music lovers. And Actors like Rajesh Khanna  will be remembered for ages for their monumental success in their chosen field.
